Mary Quant

 Mary Quant was a fashion designer best known for her works in the 1960s. Thanks to her works we now have certain iconic looks of the sixties. Mary was upset with the range of women's clothes available at the time, and after the success of a set of loungewear she created, she decided to create her own brand. Mary was a self taught designer. She would attend classes in the evening to help her achieve the look she wanted for her clothes. She is most credited for the look of the sixties, the mini skirt. She helped pave the way for differences in fashion. Her designs where not like the ones you would see in all the other stores. Her designs are one of a kind. 

I'd like to touch on some of her designs, the first one begin

Things like pants for women where not really socially accepted at the time. Up until then women were normally seen in dresses. With Mary's design she show new ways for women to dress, even if they didn't want to wear skirts. 
During this time Mary opened a store that featured pants for women. Mary was ready to test the current gender rules, therefore she made pants to be worn whenever. This is a style that is still worn today. I don't think that we will ever go back in time where woman didn't wear pants. One style I think strives from that is the Dark Academia

aesthetic, the picture I added on the left reminds me very much of it. If you look up clothes for that aesthetic I find that a lot of the outfits have pants. 

   

The next trend I wanna talk about is colored tights. Without Mary I do not know if we would have these. Thanks to her it became popular and is still used to this day. Mary was known for using all sorts of different colored tights. This style is stilled used today, people will use colored tights to add a pop of color to their look to help make a colorful look complete. 

Lastly one of her designs that is used all the time is the mini skirt. With how Mary played around with the hemline, it opened up new doors for how long and or short people's skirts can be. This trend is still popular today, I am also not sure if this trend will ever go away.
